Ken Eudy (the Press Association leader now full time lobbyist for Amendment One) had an interesting comment in the Charlotte Observer when asked why he had purchased all the “noamendmentone” sites.
Are sites `preventive’ or a trick?
Are you opposed to Amendment One, the constitutional change on this year’s N.C. ballot? Don’t go to www.noamendmentone.com. Or www.noamendmentone.net. Or www.noamendmentone.info.
All those sites do is lead you to www.amendmentone.org, the main site sponsored by supporters of the amendment, which allows a new type of local government financing.
“It’s just preventive medicine,” says Ken Eudy, a pro-amendment political strategist whose firm registered the sites in the past week.
It’s a trick, said Michael Joyce, a Cary Town Council member who started www.noamendmentone.org, which is, in fact, an opposition site.
“You tell me that breeds trust in those people?” Joyce asked. “I’d be skeptical as a voter just to support any organization that would attempt to fool the voters such as that.” — RICHARD RUBIN
